Transcriptome profiling of Pinus radiata branches reveals new insights into compression wood formation in response to gravity stress

ABSTRACT: Compression (CW) and opposite wood (OW) are formed in the uniderside and upperside of conifer branches respectively in response to gravity stress. We investigated genes differentially transcribed between the underside and upside of radiate pine branches using cDNA microarrays with a view to plant gravitropism. Six trees with well-developed branches were selected from a radiata pine commercial plantation (aged 13 years) located at Bondo, NSW, Australia (35Âº 16' 44.04 S, 148Âº 26' 54.66 E). The largest branch from each tree was further selected for sampling, including three branches sampled in April 2007 (autumn in Bondo) and three sampled in October 2007 (spring). Bark was removed from the base part (about 10 cm in length) of each branch. Developing xylem tissues were scraped from the exposed upperside and underside surface respectively with a sharp chisel. Samples were immediately placed into 50 ml BD FalconTM tubes filled with liquid nitrogen. Gene expression in the underside and upperside of branches was compared using radiata pine cDNA microarrays.

Transcriptome reorganization during seasonal wood development in Pinus radiata

Project description:Seasonal wood development results in two distinct wood types: earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW), which is the major cause of wood qaulity variation. We investigate transcriptome reorganization during seasonal wood development in radiata pine using a newly developed 18k cDNA microarrays. Three sampling trees each at juvenile (5 yrs), transition (9 yrs) and mature (14 yrs) ages (based on the wood rings at breast height) were selected from a plantation forest of radiata pine at Bondo, NSW , Australia (35Âº 16' 44.04 S, 148Âº 26' 54.66 E). The sampling trees at juvenile and mature ages were grown within 50 m distance and under similar environment. Two sampling trees at rotation age (30 yrs) were chosen at Yarralumla, ACT, Australia (35Â° 18' 27'' S, 149Â° 7' 27.9'' E).

Identification of candidate genes affecting juvenile wood density in Pinus radiata

Project description:Wood density is a foundamental quality trait for structural timber, bioenergy and pulp industries. We investigated genes differentially transcribed in radiate pine juvneile trees with distinct wood density using cDNA microarrays. Radiata pine trees were selected from a progeny trial planted at Flynn, Australia. Based on the gravitical measurement of wood cores, 12 families with highest and lowest density each were selected, representing two groups of trees with contrasting wood density. One individual with higher or lower density were further sampled in each selected family. Developing xylem tissues of selected trees were sampled in autumn (April) when latewood (LW) was formed. The xylem tissues were scraped at breast height with a sharp chisel after the bark was removed. Wood cores of the sampled trees were further measured using SilviScan 2. Total RNA extracted from ten developing xylem tissues with confirmed distinct density in each tree group were pooled into two bulks (five trees each), and the two bulks of HD were compared with two LD bulks in the microarray experiment (named the bulk experiment). Six developing xylem tissues with the most distinct density from each tree group were further chosen. Six xylem tissues with HD were individually compared with bulked six xylem tissues with LD in the second microarray experiment (named individual experiment). These two different pooling strategies can partly minimize the genetic variation among different genotypes. Dye swaps were applied in each biological replicate.

Identification of candidate genes affecting juvenile wood stiffness in Pinus radiata

Project description:Wood stiffness is the most important wood quality trait of forest trees for structural timber production. We investigated genes differentially transcribed in radiate pine trees with distinct wood stiffness using bulked segregant analysis (BSA) and cDNA microarrays. Transcript accumulation in earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) of high (HS) and low stiffness (LS) trees in two progeny trials was compared. Radiata pine trees used for microarray experiment were selected from two progeny trials planted at Flynn and Kromelite, Australia. Based on the IML-based MOE measurement, five families with highest and lowest MOE each were selected from each trial, which represented two segregant populations with contrasting wood stiffness. Two individuals from each selected family were further sampled. Developing xylem tissues of selected trees in Flynn trial were sampled in spring (October) and autumn (April), representing earlywood (EW) and latewood (LW) of juvenile aged trees, respectively. Collection of xylem tissues from Kromelite trial was arranged in summer (late November) when latewood (LW) was formed. The xylem tissues were scraped at breast height with a sharp chisel after the bark was removed. In Flynn trial EW and LW tissues were collected from the same sampled trees on opposite sides of the trunk. Transcript accumulation was compared in trees with highest (HS) and lowest stiffness (LS) using xylem samples from Flynn collected in spring (EW) and autumn (LW), as well as Kromelite in summer (LW), respectively. Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) was used for the experiment design. Total RNA samples extracted from the five trees with HS were pooled at equal amount, and compared to the bulked five individuals with LS. This pooling strategy can partly minimize the genetic variation among different genotypes. Dye swaps were applied in each biological replicate.

Transcriptome reorganization during wood maturation in Pinus radiata

Project description:Wood maturation produces two distinct wood tissues: juvenile wood (JW) and mature wood (LW), which are the major cause of wood qaulity variation within a tree. We investigate transcriptome reorganization during wood maturation process in radiata pine using a newly developed 18k cDNA microarrays. Developing xylem tissues from nine sampled trees at 5- and 13-year-old each were randomly divided into three groups with three trees each. Total RNA samples extracted from three trees within a group were pooled at equal amount before using for microarray experiments. Using this pooling strategy three biological replicates were formed for each microarray experiment. Dye swap was applied in each biological replicate. Comparisons between JW and MW in spring (EW) and autumn (LW) were arranged in two separate microarray experiments: juvenile earlywood (JE) vs. mature earlywood (ME), juvenile latewood (JL) vs. mature latewood (ML)

EucalyptWood

Project description:* In response to gravitational stresses, angiosperm trees form tension wood in the upper sides of branches and leaning stems in which cellulose content is higher, microfibrils are typically aligned closely with the fibre axis and the fibres often have a thick inner gelatinous cell wall layer (G-layer). * Gene expression was studied in Eucalyptus nitens branches oriented at 45Â° using microarrays containing 4 900 xylem cDNAs, and wood fibre characteristics revealed by X-ray diffraction, chemical and histochemical methods. * Xylem fibres in tension wood (upper branch) had a low microfibril angle, contained few fibres with G-layers and had higher cellulose and decreased Klason lignin compared to lower branch wood. Expression of two closely related fasciclin-like arabinogalactan proteins and a B-tubulin was inversely correlated with microfibril angle in upper and lower xylem from branches. * Structural and chemical modifications throughout the secondary cell walls of fibres sufficient to resist tension forces in branches can occur in the absence of G-layer enriched fibres and some important genes involved in responses to gravitational stress in eucalypt xylem are identified. Keywords: tissue comparison Two nine-year-old Eucalyptus nitens trees were used as a source of biological material. RNA was isolated from xylem from the vertical main stem and from the upper and lower quarter of branches oriented at approximately 45Â° from vertical. For each tree, slides were hybridized with probes synthesized from vertical xylem and one or other of upper or lower branch xylem.

Biomarker genes highlight intraspecific and interspecific variations in the responses of Pinus taeda L. and Pinus radiata D. Don to Sirex noctilio F. acid gland secretions

Project description:Sirex noctilio F., a Eurasian horntail woodwasp recently introduced into North America, oviposits in pines and other conifers and in the process spreads a phytopathogenic fungus that serves as a food source for its larvae. During oviposition the woodwasp also deposits a mucus produced in its acid (venom) gland that alters pine defense responses and facilitates infection by the fungus. A 26,496-feature loblolly pine cDNA microarray was used to survey gene expression of pine tissue responding to S. noctilio venom. Six genes were selected for further assessment by qRT-PCR, including one that encoded an apparent PR-4 protein and another that encoded a thaumatin-like protein. Expression of both was strongly induced in response to venom, while expression of an apparent actin gene (ACT1) was stable in response to the venom. The pattern of gene response was similar in Pinus taeda L. and P. radiata D. Don, but the magnitude of response in P. radiata was significantly stronger for each of the induced genes. The magnitude of biomarker gene response to venom also varied according to genotype within these two species. The qRT-PCR assay was used to demonstrate that the primary bioactive component in S. noctilio venom is a polypeptide. Reference design. Two condition experiment, two time points each compared to a common reference. Two biological replicates, two technical replicates, 12 slides total, duplicate/re-scanned images submitted for each slide.

Transcriptional profiling of the rust fungus Cronartium quercuum f. sp. fusiforme (Cqf) during vegetative growth on 2 different hosts.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to make a single comparison between Cqf genes expressed during the vegetative stages of infection on the telial host (oak leaf) versus the aecial host (pine stem). A large proportion of genes were expressed in both hosts and significantly differentially expressed genes were enriched for candidate fungal effectors (small secreted proteins). These results suggest that the Cqf rust fungus uses a largely common set of genes to create two very different infection phenotypes. This study was based on hybridizations to custom microarrays containing features representing 8692 gene models from a Cqf genome sequencing project midpoint assembly. Two Agilent 4 X 44K microarray slides were populated with 60-mer probes (1 to 5 per transcript), designed using AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys web-based eArray software. Labeled target cRNA (complementary RNA) was generated using AgilentM-bM-^@M-^Ys Low Input Quick Amp Labeling Kit, such that oak and pine samples were labeled with either cy3 or cy5 an equal number of times across the experiment. Each microarray was hybridized with labeled cRNA target derived from a single oak sample and labeled cRNA target derived from a single pine sample. There were a total of eight oak sample replications and eight pine sample replications. Target hybridization and scanning were performed by the University of FloridaM-bM-^@M-^Ys Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research using standard procedures and an Agilent G250B Scanner.

Gene expression and intragenic polymorphism in a Populus trichocarpa and Populus deltoides pseudo-backcross pedigree

Project description:A microarray analysis of whole-genome gene expression and single feature polymorphism in a (Populus trichocarpa X Populus deltoides) X Populus deltoides pseudo-backcross pedigree. Genetic variation in gene expression was quantified for 55,793 predicted gene models based on a single probe per gene. Concurrently, sequence-level polymorphism was analyzed based on dedicated probes identified in a pilot study comprised of the two parent genotypes (GPL7169). Resultant data contributed to a high density genetic map and to analysis of the genetic architecture of gene expression in Populus. Keywords: Genetic analysis of gene expression and polymorphism, eQTL Data include one biological replicate of 178 segregating pseudobackcross progeny analyzed for gene expression (GE) using one probe per gene for 55793 independent gene models (probes E_POPLARSxxxxxPxxxxx) and single feature sequence polymorphism (SFP) using one probe per gene for 12084 independent gene models (probes G_POPLARSxxxxxPxxxxx). GE and SFP probes were selected from 6-7 probes per gene previously tested in a pilot study of the two parent trees of the cross (Populus deltoides X Populus trichocarpa).
